we have a 9-80 work week and have off every other friday. the 3 day weekend is nice but it's the 4-day work week that is the best. it makes the 5 day work weeks seem like an eternity.

We were having a discussion at my office about whether this would actually result in savings to the majority of workers. With 3 day weekends every week, I'd see myself traveling more, golfing, shopping, etc with the extra day off.

I suspect it would cost me money in the end because I'd have to free time to spend money.

The majority of our company has the ability to work from home, so we are trying to implement it where we can just work from home one day a week. Still 5 days a week for working, but we only have to come in 4 days.

Whatever. Most people only come in for 3 days a week anyway. One person works from home almost everyday. haha.
